Spirit Heals: Awakening a Woman's Inner Knowing for Self-Healing

by Meredith L. Young-Sowers

Spirit Heals is a wide-ranging manifesto on how women heal and how they can incorporate aspects of spirit, emotion, mind, and body in their healing journey. Author Meredith Young-Sowers explores a wide range of resources, external and internal: doctors, nutrition, chemo, radiation, massage, acupuncture, surgery, energy work, meditation, visualization. She explains how focused participation to rekindle kindness and passion can occur simultaneously with any other treatment to enhance healing. She introduces the concepts of “spiritual DNA” and “spiritual genes” that let readers see they are not “destined” to be sick and can be proactive in achieving health. Particular sections include “Ask Yourself,” which helps readers reform their thoughts; “Attitude Shifts,” which contains affirmations and reminders of the healing thoughts and actions; and “Activities,” which guides readers step by step through changes. Based in part on her extensive workshop teachings, Spirit Heals is an informed, loving reminder that good health is something every woman should — and can — have.

Mostly, we live our lives oblivious to everything important. We rush around trying to get twenty things done at once. We pretend to listen to our loved ones but are actually distracted by our own thoughts. We ignore our feelings, our bodies, and our spirits.

Then, along comes reality. We find a lump. We get chest pains. We get so tired that we can hardly function. Suddenly, we have no choice, we have to rest and we have to listen to our bodies.

In the depths of such a change, life doesn't seem fair. With this said, the majority of people who go through such traumatic changes find greater meaning and even joy in their situation. How can we get through this pain? How can we get past the bitterness to find love and acceptance? How can we find the courage to look within? Spirit Heals fully supports and encourages us along this path. It includes the stories of women just like us. It also contains all sorts of exercises that bring us closer to our true selves. Like a good friend who is able to tell us the truth and then stand by us come what may.
